Hi everyone,
Exotic, tropical, distant, cold... each is unique, and there are tons of them to discover worldwide. I thought this would be a wonderful theme for our next game, so this week I’d like to take you on a tour of some islands! 🏝
There are 35 islands from all over the globe in the crossword grid below, can you identify them all?
To ensure everyone has a chance to participate, try to post only one answer or word at a time; I will update the updated game grid regularly.
I would love to know as well if you’ve had the opportunity to visit any of these islands -let us know below! 🛳 🛩
Have fun,
Quincy
